So, here's my first presentation :)
This bow was my first black locust bow.
He was built a few month ago.
When is was bending the recurves, I've got some cracks there and I decided to try Brush Nocks, so I've rasped it down and glued on some padouk.
On the back, I glued some "snakeskin"(Not really snakeskin. It is that, what snakes throw off during the molt)
The overlays are made from water buffalo horn.
I hope you like it :)
Material:black locust, padouk
Length:62"
Drawweight:30#@27", 32#@28"( I just draw him to 27", because he's very short for black locust ;D )

Very nice bow and an excellent first bow. The shed snake skin and the brush nocks really add to the bow's appearance. 8)
